Morane Saulnier Parasol L
« on: July 06, 2013, 11:44:20 AM »
Yes, another one finished and out of the drawer!

It's from AZ models and i had to get some work done to get it right, specially to the woden panels (being a shorter nose) and top wing (it had no central cut out in the trailing edge).

I did my job in the interior, but it's impossible for anyone to see whatever  :( ! That top wing  >:( !

Anyway this is my small (1/72) perspective of Lt. Roland Garros aircraft.






















Thx for looking.

  Zabu,
Absolutely beautiful Morane Saulnier my friend. Look at the photos it's hard to believe it's in 1/72 scale, truly impressive project. The airfield diorama is the perfect setting for this gem.
Highest Regards,

Very well done Zabu, to do what you have done in 1:72 scale speaks volumes. The build is excellent and the rigging is truely amazing, and to top it off you have a diorama as well, congratulations on presenting us with a stunning display.

Very nice model Zabu. You have done a great
job, especially since it is in 1/72. The aerodrome
diorama is super!  I look forward to more of your models. 
Thanks for sharing with us.

Best Regards,
Ernie

Nicely done Zabu! Like Des said, Hard to believe it is 1/72nd! I Like your airfield. I had something similar in 1/72nd about 40 years ago or maybe more  8)

Amazing work in 1/72!!!  I can barely see that small anymore. ;)  Great job on a classic and interesting subject, and nicely displayed as well.  Excellent! :D

Absolutely brilliant job. I would like to build one of these - probably from scratch, but I could never reach your standard. The painting is absolutely top notch without a doubt. I also like the airfield background which is of the same very high standard as the model. Congratulations.

I know this kit. It does indeed require a lot of work to bring it to the Garros's L standard. You have done a very fine job on it. Congrats, Zabu!

Thanks for your kindness fellows.
I must say that i'm trully happy and honored to be among you buddies.

@IanB:
i'll post some photos of the diorama in the diorama section, but it's not quite finished yet!

@lone modeller:
making it from scratch it will be already over my standard  ;)
